How In-Home Group Massage Works in San Diego

The short answer

A group massage at home is simple. Guests take turns while the gathering carries on around them. Each guest gets their own session, and when it ends the next person goes in. For a bigger group, or a day that has to fit a set window, we send more than one therapist so sessions run side by side.

You tell us how many guests, table or chair, how long each session should be and when. We work out the schedule, send one quote for the whole booking, and once you say yes the day is set. That is really all there is to it. The rest of this post is for people who like to picture the day before they book.

Who comes

Every therapist works with one guest at a time, so the number of therapists we send depends on your group and your window. A few friends with a lazy Sunday afternoon might have one therapist and take turns at a relaxed pace. A bachelorette house in Pacific Beach with a dozen guests and a dinner reservation gets two or three therapists and two or three tables, so several people are being worked on at once and the whole group is done in a couple of hours.

You never have to figure that part out. Tell us the headcount, the session length and the time you have, and we match the team to the day. If you'd rather keep it to one therapist and let the afternoon stretch, say so in the notes and we'll plan it that way.

Table or chair

Table massage is a full session. Guests lie on a professional table, undress only to their own comfort level and stay draped throughout. Each one tells the therapist what pressure and focus they want, so a runner can get firm work on the calves while the next guest gets a slow, light Swedish.

Chair massage is seated and fully clothed, with no lotion. Guests sit forward in a supported massage chair for focused work on the neck, shoulders, back and arms. It suits bigger groups, shorter sessions and any setting where people want to walk straight back into the room looking the way they did before. It is also what we bring to offices for corporate chair massage.

Keeping the day moving

A group day goes smoothly when the next person is ready before the door opens. A few habits help:

• Write a running order and share it in the group chat. Put people with a hard stop first.
• Keep the massage room quiet. A bedroom or den with a door works better than a corner of the kitchen.
• Leave water and a robe where guests come out.
• Decide where the guest of honor goes. For a birthday or a bachelorette party, some people like to go first and float through the rest of the day; others prefer to go last.

Room setup

A spare bedroom, a den or a quiet corner of the living room is plenty for a table, and a chair fits almost anywhere. With more than one therapist, we set up in separate rooms or at opposite ends of a large one so each guest has privacy. We bring the tables or chairs, fresh linens, lotion for table sessions and music, and we set up before the first booked time. You don't rent, prepare or clean anything.

San Diego weather makes outdoor setups tempting, and a patio in Point Loma or a deck in La Jolla can work well. We need flat ground and some privacy from the neighbors. If you are at a hotel or a vacation rental, check the house rules on outside vendors first.

The quote

Group massage is quoted per booking, because two groups of eight can want very different days. Send the request and we reply with one number for the whole thing. For a sense of scale, our pricing page lists individual session rates of $129 for 60 minutes, $179 for 90 and $229 for 120. Add-ons such as cupping or CBD lotion can be added for the whole group. If any guest is pregnant, just tick the pregnant-guest box when you book and we'll take care of the rest.

How to request

On the booking page, choose a group, then fill in:

1. Table or chair.
2. Headcount. Groups start at three; for two people, book a couples massage instead.
3. Session length per guest.
4. Your preferred date and time window: morning, afternoon, evening or flexible.
5. Notes: the occasion, the address type, parking, anything we should know.

Group days involve lining up therapists, so they are always a request rather than an instant booking. We send the schedule and quote, you say yes, and the day is set. Weekends fill first, so send the request as soon as you have a date.
